The 2010 Atlantic Hurricane season will produce eight hurricanes, four of them being major, the CSU hurricane forecasting team predicted on Wednesday. The season should start around June 1 and it's six month season would likely see 15 tropical storms. There is a 69 percent chance that one major hurricane will land on U.S. soil.

My Opinion: Time will certainly tell if we have bad hurricanes or not. If we do, oil prices will go up because the oil companies will freak out. That will not help our economy to grow. Also, if we have bad hurricanes, millions of dollars will have to be spent for rescue operations and rebuilding operations. So the potential for hurricanes is great, and hopefully we will be able compensate and be ready for them, and hopefully they will not hinder our economy more than it is or increase gas prices more than they are.
